Using the CZASEND program

CZASEND is a program that sends a single syslog message of your choosing to your configured syslog server. CZASEND can be included in any batch job or called from a COBOL or other application program. You can specify the syslog message as a parameter or read from a file.

The CZASEND program requires a BMC AMI Datastream for z/OS key.

In CEF mode, CZASEND messages have a header signature ID of the CZASEND user message, a header name of the user message, and the following extension:

The following description assumes that you added the CZASEND procedure (PROC) to your SYS1.PROCLIB concatenation as described in Setting-up-CZASEND. If you did not add the procedure, you must add the following statement to each job that uses the CZASEND procedure:

Alternatively, you can incorporate the JCL statements found in CZASEND directly into your jobs, which is beyond the scope of this product documentation.

CZASEND returns a completion code to the job or the calling program. For information about the possible return codes and their meanings, see Codes issued by BMC AMI Datastream products.
